Okay, so trying to explain Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is… tough. Basically, it stars Johnson and McCarrol as fictionalized versions of themselves – Matt and Jay – who are in a band called Nirvanna the Band (totally different from that Nirvana!). The whole thing revolves around them desperately trying to get a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto, hoping it’ll be their big break. Honestly, it wasn’t really about much, it felt more like a series of funny sketches than a traditional story. Both the original web series and the TV show were all about these guys causing chaos around Toronto, constantly dragging unsuspecting people into their schemes, all in pursuit of that one elusive show.

This is where the X-Men’s ship, which Jean had been piloting, eventually crashed.

Although it appears to be routine publishing practice for Penguin Random House, dedicated Marvel fans recognize these types of listings often hint at upcoming changes.
